Where to Buy

Where to Buy Pentax 20x60 binoculars

It can often pay to shop around a little. Below are some of the best places on the web that I have found that sell binoculars. Please note Whilst not an exhaustive list, these are internet businesses that I trust, not a "man in a shed" or second hand ebay type retailers.

USA Internet Retailers:

Everyone knows Amazon and due to their size and buying power it often means that they have the cheapest prices. Amazon have a large selection of binoculars, in fact I have hardly ever not found a pair that I was looking for on their site. Well worth checking the links above to compare prices.

BBR Recommended Retailer

Adorama is much more than just a camera and electronics store, they stock a huge selection of optics, including binoculars, spotting scopes, telescopes, monoculars, night vision devices and accessories.

They offer most of the major optical brands including Bushnell, Canon, Celestron, Kowa, Leica, Leupold, Minox, Nikon, Pentax, Steiner, Swarovski, Vanguard Zeiss and Zen-Ray Optics. Their prices are super competitive and in many situations better than Amazon. Also unlike Amazon, you get a far better and personal customer experience should you need to ask for advice or have something returned or exchanged. Highly Recommended.

Adorama ships throughout the U.S., Canada and to over 200 countries worldwide. Orders placed on business days before 8:00 PM ET (Eastern Time) for products that are in stock are generally shipped the same day.

Ebay, like Amazon is one of the biggest brands on the web. In the past I was not that keen to recommend them, this was because I don't think that is wise to buy a second hand pair of binoculars unless you know or can really trust the seller.

Things have now changed on Ebay and there are now many, many brand new binoculars that you can "Buy Now" with no auction, and they are sold by trusted sellers. The link above to Ebay will only show you binoculars that are new and sold by Ebay's Top-rated sellers for a buy now price (not an auction) - I feel they are well worth checking out and comparing against the prices of the online shops above.

UK Internet Retailers:

First Light Optics - Launched in 2006 is the UK's largest astronomy retailer. So whilst FLO specialises in binoculars and telescopes for astronomy, they also stock a massive range of optics for birding, nature observation, marine and general use.

They place a strong emphasis on product knowledge as well as customer service, hold plenty of stock so most orders are dispatched same-day for overnight delivery

Everyone knows Amazon, due to their size and buying power it often means that they have the cheapest prices. Amazon.co.uk probably don't have as many optics as the .com site, but they still have a very large selection of binoculars as well as spotting scopes & night vision devices. Well worth checking.

Wex Photographic (previously known as Warehouse Express) was established in 1997 and initially offered a dedicated service for photographers at every level. Today they not only stock a massive range of photographic equipment and are indeed the UK's largest online specialist photographic retailer, but also stock one of the UK's largest selections of binoculars and spotting scopes.

PicStop - Established in 2000, PicStop is completely online and do not have any traditional brick and mortar retail outlets. However they do have a number of warehouses, both in the UK and around Europe. The company initially specialised on digital accessories with a particular focus on photography, but now stock a good selection of binoculars including the full ranges of Celestron and Vanguard:
